Its company property, you don’t go putting stickers on company printers or the walls of your office.
And it’s not about resale value, it’s about corporate and professional image. We’re free to destructively mod our personal equipments, but not those of others.
I’m not quite sure whether we’re forbidden to put stickers on our work laptops, but almost everybody does. How else am I supposed to recognise mine after leaving it in a meeting room with a few others and coming back a while later?
That’s the excuse they give you. The real reason is that they don’t want employees expressing their personalities or affiliations while representing the company.
I say this to in general, but the reason why may be because the work laptop doesn’t belong to them?
Are they the kind of person who will doodle and scribble and highlight whole paragraphs in fluo yellow, rip covers and pages, and scorn the corners of a book that was loaned to them?
Some people have no respect for someone else’s property.
Oh god. The IT department must hate them.

How am I supposed to project my corporate signalling?
I mean, stickers are sometimes pretty hard to remove and leave behind permanent marks on some finishes, but that’s a hard nitpick.
I like seeing stickers on employee’s laptops, means they at least somewhat enjoy working here.

I could see someone putting a sticker over a vent for the aesthetics and cause that’s where the loud noise generally comes from.
